Despite the fact that today film cameras are almost completely superseded by a variety of digital cameras - from amateur to professional, some photographers are still fans and adherents of film photography and its artistic merits. Often, not even modern film cameras, but old Soviet ones, possessing a number of features that are unattainable in modern technology, are much more popular among photographers. Unlike digital cameras, film requires new film to be installed on a regular basis. You will learn how to do this in this article.
Instructions
Step 1
Film for a camera consists of the film itself and a plastic spool on which it is wound, and which serves as a protective coating.
Step 2
Open the camera cover and take a plastic spool-receiver onto which you will wind the film from the main spool.
Step 3
Open the holders of the top receiver, and then hold the take-up spool in one hand and the film spool in the other.
Step 4
Pull out a small section of blank film or protective paper from the spool and, slightly bending the end, insert it into the special slot on the take-up spool. Rotate the take-up spool several times to make two to three rolls of prep film or paper.
Step 5
After that, install the roll of film into the lower receiver of the camera, and install the take-up roll, on which the film is fixed with several turns, into the upper receiver and snap the latches. Make sure the film or paper strip is not too loose or too tight. It should lie flat in the space between the receivers.
Step 6
Close the camera lid and slightly scroll the film using the appropriate rewind button so that the frame numbers appear in the window. Then you can start taking pictures by rewinding the film one frame forward for each frame.
